Since the source of the Plague which had swept Seven Cities was determined to be in the city of G'danisban, Dujek led his elite troops into the city to stage an assault on the temple, however, instead of the High Priestess, they encountered the Goddess Poliel herself. The Gold Moranth never made it out at all and Dujek and most of his officers caught the plague and died afterwards.[6]

Two thousand Gold Moranth led by Commander V'thell joined the Talian League in their rebellion against Malazan Empress Laseen. V'thell told League officer Ullen Khadeve that the League's military character was similar to the Moranth's, and was one reason that made them decide to ally.[7]

At the Battle of the Plains, when the Talian League had been defeated, and the threat of a rampant Ryllandaras loomed large, the Gold Moranth under Urko Crust swore allegiance to Laseen in order to be saved.
